Positive	NativePlantFan9	On Mar 13, 2005, NativePlantFan9 from Boca Raton, FL (Zone 10a) wrote: Long Strap Fern is native to the wet cypress swamps, hammocks, tree islands, hardwood swamps and swampsides and sloughs throughout central and southern interior Florida and the Keys (zones 9a through 11). It grows on stumps, tree trunks and logs and rotting wood. It grows in areas with medium to high moisture, such as swampy sites. It may also grow in soil. This fern's long, undivided, strap-like leaves are distinctive. It often has several leaves. It may be confused with the also native endangered Wild Birdsnest Fern (Asplenium serratum), which is found in some of the same habitats. However, the Birdsnest Fern usually has fewer, wider strap-like leaves than the Long Strap Fern.
